Developing Markets Associates hosted the Government of Côte d'Ivoire at the UK-Côte d'Ivoire Trade & investment Forum 2013, which took place on October 30th at the Sheraton Hotel, Park Lane, London.

This remarkably successful event was attended by some 600 delegates consisting of amongst others, high ranking government ministers from both the UK and Côte d'Ivoire; key members of the business and donor communities – many of them stakeholders in Côte d'Ivoire; and numerous potential investors in Côte d'Ivoire.

The day consisted of both plenary sessions and round table meetings; and the delegates were addressed by HE Prime Minister Daniel Kablan Duncan, Prime Minister of Côte d'Ivoire, who outlined the positive impact that the day's meetings would have on his country and discussed amongst other matters his government's National Development Plan. Key speeches were also given by, amongst others, HE Claude Bouah-Kamon, Ambassador of Côte d’Ivoire In the United Kingdom; Mark Simmonds, the UK's Minister for Africa; a number of ministers from the Government of Côte d'Ivoire; and senior representatives from the private sector – some of whom were sponsors of the event.
